I was actually interested in checking this out at somepoint, but after reading this chat, I'm out. I know there's something to be said for cultural differences or whatever but sheesh!
A Shocking Interview With The War Z Developer On False Steam Store Claims
Lol...there's more. Seems they "borrowed" art from the Walking Dead TV Show.

And....
Late last night, we reported that the War Z's developers had made attempts to conceal the game's problems by banning anyone who complained on the official Steam forums about the problems they were having. Many users vocalized their dissatisfaction with the fact that the studio had added a lengthy 4-hour respawn timer and had begun to charge players to respawn their characters upon their deaths.
A bizarre interview on GameSpy also went up last night with the game's lead producer, Sergei Titov, who appeared unsympathetic to the problems his customers were facing. He seemed to believe that lying to his customers was not only acceptable, but an action to be praised.
"I can assure you that based on what we're seeing and number of people who post bad comments are small percentage," he said in response to one of the many hard questions about the game's problems. He also placed the responsibility of refunding players on Steam.
